Production

Background

Final Resolution was a pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling between 2005 and 2012. In 2013, TNA discontinued most of its monthly pay-per-view events in favor of the pre-recorded One Night Only events.[1] The event would be held as a special episode of Impact! in 2013, and has been a monthly special for Impact Plus in 2020 and 2023.[2] On July 22, 2024, it was announced that Final Resolution would take place on December 13, at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.[3]

Storylines

The event will feature several professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on TNA's weekly programs, Impact! and Xplosion.[4]

At Victory Road, Masha Slamovich teamed with Tasha Steelz as they defended the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship against Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat); Slamovich's regular partner Alisha Edwards was declared medically unable to compete, hence Steelz' involvement. Spitfire went on to win the titles, with Steelz and Edwards turning on and attacking Slamovich after the match.[5][6] Slamovich would continue feuding with Steelz and Edwards, during which she captured the TNA Knockouts World Championship from Jordynne Grace at Bound for Glory; she later defended the title against Edwards in a no disqualification match on Impact! before being attacked by Steelz.[7][8][9][10] On the December 5 Impact!, Steelz defeated Grace in a singles match and then continued assaulting her alongside Edwards before Slamovich ran them off.[11] TNA would later announce that Slamovich would defend the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Steelz at Final Resolution.[12] On the day of the event, a backstage confrontation between Slamovich and Steelz, led to the match being made a falls count anywhere match.

At Bound for Glory, The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) won the TNA World Tag Team Championship in a Full Metal Mayhem match, defeating champions The System (Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards) and ABC (Ace Austin and Chris Bey).[7][8] Over a month later on the December 5 episode of Impact!, The System would invoke their rematch clause to challenge The Hardys for the titles, only for the match to end via disqualification due to Alisha Edwards interfering. The System continued to beat down The Hardys, ending when they put the champions through a table.[11] As a result, TNA later announced that The Hardys and The System would face off once again for the TNA World Tag Team Championship at Final Resolution in a tables match.[12]

On the December 5 Impact!, Kushida won a five-way match against Ace Austin, Trent Seven, Leon Slater and JDC to earn a TNA X Division Championship match.[11] Therefore, he would challenge Moose for the title at the event.[12]
